Ani Difranco Ani Difranco - Grey Lyrics

the sky is grey,
the sand is grey,
and the ocean is grey.
i feel right at
home in this stunning monochrome,
alone in my way.
i smoke and i drink and
every time i blink i have a tiny dream.
but as bad as i am i'm proud of the
fact that i'm worse than i seem.
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more.
maybe some tiny shiny thing will
wash up on the shore.
you walk through my walls like a ghost on tv.
you penetrate me
and my little pink heart is on its little brown raft floating out to sea.
and what can i say but i'm wired this way and you're wired to me, and
what can i do but wallow in you unintentionally?
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more.
maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore. regretfully, i guess i've got three simple things to say. why me? why this now? why this way? overtone's ringing,
undertow's pulling away under a sky that is grey on sand that is grey by an
ocean that's grey. what kind of paradise am i looking for? i've got everything
i want and still i want more. maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the
shore.
